As a Nintendo fan, I can say that.... Malstrom is right. Kinda. It's not just Nintendo. All games have been dumbed down in the last 20 years to expand the audience. Some games are just movies you click through now. In the 80's we didn't even have save points, let alone unlimited lives or continues or tutorials or anything. Imagine a 3-D Battletoads game today, with save points, save files, item collecting, tutorials, and puzzles. Kids today couldn't lay a finger on Battletoads. The game would bite their fingers off.
